If it were in Oakland, you might be right. I don't see the Raiders crossing the country and beating a superior team in an early day game.

But because it's oakland that kinda makes me think it's more likely to happen, nobody, including the raiders and falcons players is expecting that outcome, which seems to sound just like a perfect chance for Oakland to start accumulating enough wins to get them out of franchise QB territory in the draft.

As for the Giants/9ers game, I somehow have no anxiety, I'm not saying the giants are going to dominate, but unless all of our injured players can't play, I just can't help but seeing the giants coming away with the W, even if it takes until the last drive of the game. Although the easy with which we stomped cleveland after spotting them a 17-7 lead, makes me a little less confident than I would've been had we only won by a 4th quarter TD.

Interesting stat

Kind of hard when you only average 25 attempts per game. He's young and has done fairly well under the circumstances, which is mediocre receivers and conservative playcalling. Having said that, Matt Flynn should be starting.

Seattle is going to be an interesting challenge this week for NE. They are an exceptional defense (#1 in total defense, T2 in points D) but Bill Belichick is 10-3 against rookie QBs and generally has an easy time making them look really really bad.

Seattle has an elite home field advantage (even if their teams are typically mediocre, so their record may not reflect it as well as some might think). Great, loud fans. I really hope next weeks game against the Jets doesn't cause this to be a trap game.

Nah, this is exactly the type of game the giants win after lackluster performances the last two weeks.

We'll see.

I think that Harbaugh has his team worked up to a fever pitch and has them motivated to completely annihilate the Giants as payback for that NFCCG that the 49ers probably deserved to win last year.

This is the kind of "statement" game that a coach like Harbaugh wants to just completely dominate to set a tone for the rest of the season: "Last year was just a stepping stone. This year it's our season."

This could be the start of something really special for the 49ers. Kind of like the 1981 season was for the beginning of the Bill Walsh era 49ers dynasty.

No game in October is a "statement" game. Remember we beat the G-Men last year in the regular season. Didn't mean much in when the it mattered the most. I want to win every game but a win or a loss on Sunday wont define our season. Too much football left for that. What I do want is to be playing our best ball heading into the post-season. And we're a long ways away from the post-season.
